Houston Texans

A year removed from winning the AFC South crown, the Houston Texans fell on hard times in 2013 and own the No. 1 overall pick in the draft as a result. Quarterback appears to be the most pressing team need, but Houston could be tempted to add pieces to an already talent-laden defense.

May 7:Texans could 'legitimately move' down in draftTexans general manager Rick Smith said he has had "enough conversations to legitimately move" from the first overall pick. Smith did not disclose any potential trade partners or the seriousness of any potential deals to quantify how legitimate things stand on the eve of the draft.

Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South CarolinaMay 5:Might Texans pass on Clowney to take Mack?NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that, after talking to sources familiar with Texans general manager Rick Smith's thinking, he no longer believes it's a certainty that Houston will pick Clowney if it keeps the No. 1 overall selection. Rapoport said the name to watch if the Texans don't take Clowney is that of former Buffalo outside linebacker Khalil Mack, who might be viewed by Houston as a more natural defensive fit than Clowney.

Blake Annen, TE, CincinnatiApril 29:Under-the-radar TE visited TexansAnnen didn't do all that much in college (career totals of 19 receptions for 228 yards and two TDs) and wasn't invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but he opened eyes at the Bearcats' pro day, turning in a 4.41 clocking in the 40 and a 34-inch vertical jump. Annen started only as a senior after seeing a lot of action on special teams in his first three seasons, but his workout on pro day could get him selected on the third day of the draft. Houston definitely needs to get a tight end in this draft; will the Texans grab one relatively early or wait until late? They have three sixth-round picks and two seventh-rounders.

Lonnie Ballentine, FS, MemphisApril 25:Surprisingly fast FS met with TexansBallentine (6-foot-3, 219 pounds), who was not invited to the combine, has excellent size and opened a lot of eyes with a blazing 4.39 clocking in the 40 at Memphis' pro day. He started in his final two seasons with the Tigers but wasn't all that productive. But he's also younger than a typical college senior, as he graduated from high school a year early to get started with his college career. He's also more mature than a typical college senior: He is married and has two children. His measurables are such that he could be a third-day pick, though you would draft him more on potential (and size) than production. Houston has three of the final 46 picks in the draft and could be intrigued enough to grab him.

Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&MApril 22:Matthews to meet with TexansNFL Media insider Ian Rapoport reported via Twitter that the Texans are set to visit with Matthews, one of the top tackles in the draft. The Texans have also visited with Auburn tackle Greg Robinson. It's extremely unlikely that Matthews is going first overall. There has been some talk that Houston is willing to trade the top pick, and this likely is a case of the Texans doing their due diligence on a stud lineman who would be there if they traded down a couple of spots.

April 1:Texans could draft two quarterbacksNew Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien reiterated that his team will draft one quarterback -- and "maybe two." Drafting two quarterbacks is not an outlandish thought at all. Indeed, the Texans should snag two. Owning the top pick -- and having 11 picks overall -- obviously gives the Texans some flexibility.

Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern IllinoisMarch 4:Garoppolo has private workout for TexansHouston Texans coach Bill O'Brien attended Northwestern's pro day and reportedly put Garoppolo through a private workout. Garoppolo was at Northwestern's pro day because Eastern Illinois did not have its own event. He is not expected to be in play for the No. 1 overall pick, but the Texans could consider him in the second round if they do not select a quarterback with the first pick.

Indianapolis Colts

The AFC South champions are without a first-round selection due to the trade for Trent Richardson with the Cleveland Browns. Instead, they will have to wait until selection No. 27 in the second round (the 59th pick overall) to add to a team with glaring needs in a number of areas despite consecutive playoff appearances. Upgrading the offensive line -- and protecting 2012 No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck -- will likely be the top priority, but getting a cornerstone lineman in the second round will be a tough task.

Tyler Starr, OLB, South DakotaApril 30:Productive FCS 'backer worked out for ColtsStarr (6-foot-4, 250 pounds), a FCS star, played well in the East-West Shrine Game. He underwhelmed at the combine with a 4.95 clocking in the 40, but his pro-day time of 4.58 was an eye-opener. Starr was the defensive MVP in the Missouri Valley Football Conference and holds school career records in sacks (27) and forced fumbles (13). He needs to become more physical, but his pass-rush skills could lead the Colts to use a sixth- or seventh-round pick on Starr and hope he develops into a specialty pass rusher.

Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, MinnesotaApril 25: Handful of teams take look at Hagemen Hageman has reportedly either met or worked out for five NFL clubs: the Titans, Falcons, Steelers, Colts and Cardinals. Projected as a late-first or early-second round pick, the massive 6-6, 318-pounder participated in the Senior Bowl and took a liking to Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox. And head coach Mike Smith took a liking to Hageman, as well.

Dez Southward, FS, WisconsinApril 23:Colts meet with faster-than-expected safetySouthward (6-foot-1, 212 pounds) was a two-year starter at Wisconsin but was unable to work out at February's NFL Scouting Combine because of a medical issue. Speed supposedly was a concern, but he blazed a 4.38 in the 40 at Wisconsin's pro day and also had a 42-inch vertical jump, which opened some eyes. He can play both safety positions, but likely is better-suited for strong safety in the NFL. Southward seems likely to go early on the draft's third day. Indianapolis certainly would seem to need a young safety but doesn't have a fourth-round pick. The Colts pick 26th in the third round (90th overall), but that seems too early for Southward. Their next pick isn't until 26th in the fifth round (166th overall) and that seems too late for Southward.

Walt Aikens, CB, LibertyApril 22:Small-school corner visits with ColtsAikens (6-foot-1, 205 pounds) is a big corner generally considered a likely third-day pick -- though he is expected to come off the board early on the third day (or perhaps even late on the second day). He showed well at the Reese's Senior Bowl but was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. He ran the 40 in 4.46 seconds at Liberty's pro day. He began his career at Illinois, starting five times at safety as a true freshman, before being dismissed and transferring to Liberty, where he started for three seasons at corner. Indianapolis needs depth at corner but doesn't have a pick in the fourth round.

Martavis Bryant, WR, ClemsonApril 22:Big WR visiting with ColtsBryant (6-foot-4, 211 pounds) likely would intrigue the Colts, who don't have a first-round pick. Bryant has excellent size and ran a 4.42 40 at the combine -- faster than more celebrated teammate Sammy Watkins' 4.43. But unlike Watkins, Bryant is far from a finished product; you're drafting him far more on potential than production. Bryant could be available when the Colts pick 27th (59th overall) in the second round. But "safer" receiver picks could be had in the second round -- and in the third round and even on the third day. Plus, wide receiver would not seem to be a priority for the Colts in the second round.

Terrance Mitchell, CB, OregonApril 18:Swift Oregon CB worked out for ColtsMitchell (5-foot-11, 192 pounds) was Oregon's other cornerback in 2013, playing in the shadow of Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who -- unlike Mitchell -- decided to remain in school for his senior season. Mitchell also has been somewhat overlooked in a deep, deep cornerback class, but he has OK size, recently ran well in the 40 and was a three-year starter for the Ducks. Indianapolis would seem to be in the market for a young corner who can provide depth, and Mitchell could interest them on the third day.

Trent Murphy, LB, StanfordMarch 4:Murphy welcomes idea of Cardinal reunion in IndyThe Colts feature four players from Stanford on their roster (receiver Griff Whalen, safety Delano Howell, tight end Coby Fleener and quarterback Andrew Luck), as well as an offensive coordinator, Pep Hamilton, who recently coached in Palo Alto. With glaring needs on the defensive side of the ball, it's easy to see Murphy finding a comfortable place with the team and the linebacker more than welcomes that possibility. "I'd be more than happy to reunite with the boys in Indy," Murphy said in an interview on "NFL AM" on NFL Network.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars are clearly in rebuilding mode, and that project could mean that the team will be in the market for a quarterback. If the team decides that quarterback isn't the choice, then a myriad of top-shelf talent likely awaits at the Jaguars' perch near the top of the draft.

Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&MMay 7:Report: Manziel would prefer not to land in JacksonvilleManziel maintained he would be excited to go to whatever NFL club drafts him during his media interviews at the NFL Play 60 Youth Football Festival. That's not the case, though, according to a report suggesting the former Texas A&M star would rather not land in Jacksonville. Sports Illustrated reports that Manziel wouldn't care to hear his name called when Jacksonville turns in its card.

Sammy Seamster, CB, Middle Tennessee StateApril 29:Big corner visited JagsSeamster has become a possible seventh-round pick because of his size/speed mix. Teams covet big corners, and Seamster now is on some radars because of his height; he also ran the 40 in 4.44 seconds at MTSU's pro day. Seamster, who played two years at safety before moving to corner, never was a full-time starter for the Blue Raiders and finished his career with 69 tackles, one interception, one pass breakup and two forced fumbles. He seems more likely to be an undrafted free agent, but his size is appealing.

Jeremy Hill, RB, LSUApril 9:Hill meeting with Jaguars on ThursdayHill (6-foot-1, 233 pounds) is a character risk, but no one doubts his talent, and he should be one of the first five backs selected. The Jags own the seventh pick in the second round and the sixth in the third round; Hill should be available when they pick in the second and, because of character issues, also could be there in the third. The Jags signed free-agent RB Toby Gerhart, but bringing in Hill to compete with him would make sense.

David Fales, QB, San Jose StateMarch 19:Jeremiah: Fales good third-round option for Jags Four of the five NFL.com mock drafts have the Jaguars passing on a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, but Daniel Jeremiah says the team could land a nice dark-horse option in Fales in the third round. Fellow NFL Media analyst Charles Davis said he believes Fales is more of a third-day pick.

Connor Shaw, QB, South CarolinaMarch 10:Jaguars showing interest in ShawShaw said the Jaguars are among the teams showing the most interest in him, which makes sense given the developing narrative that the Jacksonville Jaguars will pass on drafting a quarterback with the third overall pick and address the position in the later rounds. Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has said the team will draft a quarterback, or even two, but gave no indication as to how high in the draft the need will be filled.

Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans could be back in the market for a quarterback due to Jake Locker's inability to stay healthy. A pass rusher and cover safety could also be on the wish list.

Hakeem Smith, SS, LouisvilleMay 1:Physical safety worked out for TitansSmith was a four-year starter for the Cardinals and teamed for three seasons with Calvin Pryor, considered one of the top two safeties in this draft. Smith played in the East-West Shrine Game, but wasn't invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. Smith is a physical player who is especially tough in run support. His lack of speed (4.77 in the 40) is a big concern, but he did play at a high level for four seasons. He is a possible sixth- or seventh-round pick. The Titans definitely need to find some safety depth in this draft.

Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, MinnesotaApril 25: Handful of teams take look at Hagemen Hageman has reportedly either met or worked out for five NFL clubs: the Titans, Falcons, Steelers, Colts and Cardinals. Projected as a late-first or early-second round pick, the massive 6-6, 318-pounder participated in the Senior Bowl and took a liking to Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox. And head coach Mike Smith took a liking to Hageman, as well.

Calvin Pryor, FS, LouisvilleApril 10:Big-hitting safety visits with Titans Pryor generally is considered one of the top two safeties in the draft. But safety wouldn't seem to be a position of need for Tennessee, which just signed Bernard Pollard to pair with Michael Griffin. The Titans, who pick 11th, would seem to need a cornerback and a pass-rushing linebacker more than a safety. Pryor is a huge hitter who covers a lot of ground, but his coverage skills aren't necessarily a positive. While he played free safety with Louisville, he wouldn't be out of place at strong safety in the NFL because of his hitting ability and work against the run. Pryor also has visited with, among others, Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida StateApril 4:Roby to visit with TitansJernigan played in a 4-3 set with FSU but could be a 3-4 nose tackle in the NFL, and that likely is why the Titans -- who utilize a 3-4 -- met with him. Defensive tackle wouldn't seem to be all that high on the Titans' draft priority list, but Jernigan is one of the two or three best tackles in the draft. The Titans pick 11th in the first round, and that seems a bit early for Jernigan. The Titans also met with Colorado State OLB Shaquil Barrett, who had 12 sacks and 20.5 tackles for loss in 2013 and was the Mountain West defensive player of the year. Barrett, who has an inspiring back story (he went to high school at Boys Town, in Omaha, Neb.), was not invited to the combine. He would seem to be a third-day pick.

March 31:Titans to visit with local college stars Five Nashville-based college players will visit with the Titans, The Tennessean reports. The quintet: Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews and Tennessee State tight end A.C. Leonard, guards Kadeem Edwards and Demetrius Rhaney and safety David Van Dyke. Because each plays college ball locally, their visits don't count against the Titans' limit for player visits. Matthews, Leonard and Edwards are potential picks, while Rhaney and Van Dyke seem to be free-agent types. The Titans appear set at guard with Chance Warmack and Andy Levitre, but Matthews and Leonard could be intriguing additions. Leonard is a big-time athlete with the speed to get deep -- something the Titans could use at tight end -- while Matthews has the potential to develop into a productive No. 2 receiver for a team short on dangerous weapons on the outside.

Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLAMarch 26: Barr set to meet with TitansLast week it was reported that Barr would have a private meeting with the Atlanta Falcons. Now we have learned that he's got a pretty busy schedule in the coming weeks. Barr has several meetings set up in addition to the one with the Falcons. "There have been a couple teams that have reached out," Barr told FOXSports. "I have a couple visits. I'm going to Pittsburgh. I was going to go to Detroit, but I met with their GM the day before the pro day, so I don't know if they think it's necessary. I'm also meeting with the Cowboys, Titans and Vikings."

Avery Williamson, LB, KentuckyMarch 24:Titans set to meet with WilliamsonThe Titans are among the teams set to meet with Williamson in the coming weeks, a good sign for the rising draft hopes of a prospect once considered on the fringe of NFL interest. Based on production, it's hard to understand why Williamson wasn't initially more highly regarded.

Jordan Tripp, LB, MontanaMarch 19:Titans scout works out pair of 'backersTitans college scout Marv Sunderland worked out Tripp and teammmate Brock Coyle at Montana's pro day. While Tripp is expected to be a mid-round draft choice, Coyle has risen from obscurity during the draft season to be a potential selection come May.
